This isn't showing for me. I am in the US. Using Chrome Version 20. Every other site that was recently added, works fine.

Does not work here in firefox. Same symptoms as I had for nicovideo. Edit: But if I follow the link baidu itself works (though it stops to buffer a lot, and has choppy playback even when not buffering).

Any chance you're getting some kind of security warnings, or you have some kind of blocker installed? Edit: Note, it takes a while for me till the player loads. Make sure the page is finished loading and all.

I use adblock plus too, but turning it off does not change anything. I do not get any obvious warnings, but looking in the error console, there is a bunch of warnings about unbalanced trees being written using document.write. But those are not the kind of security warnings you are thinking about, I think.

Same results as amaurea has; FF 8.0.1, adblock turned off.

It's hard to say what's going on without some kind of HTTP log. Are you getting an error message, or just the page finishes loading and nothing displays? Here's two FF addons which can log HTTP. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/httpfox/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/ Here's an idea of the list of connections you'll be seeing: Very important to note are the connections to baidu.tasvideos.org and mv.baidu.com If one of them is not appearing in the list, something is being blocked. Then it's important to see what is being sent to them, and what they're responding with.

Works here in Chrome Version 21.0.1180.11 However there is a security warning which needs to be accepted first.

Doesn't work in Chrome 20.0.1132.47. The space is entirely blank. Doesn't work in Internet Explorer 9 either, it looks like a white box (screenshot)

If you want to debug HTTP logs, you can in Chrome as well. First right click on the page and enable the inspector. Then reload the page, and you should see a list of network activity, and you can get its details. As above there's two important things to look for. And again, if you happen to have any cookie lines listed, be sure to black them out.

HttpFox shows GET's to baidu.tasvideos.org which receive 0 bytes, with a status of (Error). They are the only https-connections, so the reason is probably that I don't have the site's certificate installed (but I haven't been asked to install it either).

Well, see if installing the certificate from here helps.

Ok, that fixed it. I don't think many people will be willing to do that, though.

Newer OSs/browsers already have that certificate, so most people hopefully won't have to.

IE also has some HTTP logging abilities: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg130952%28v=vs.85%29

Using Chrome 19, Windows 7. Can't view the player, a blank piece of page is displayed instead (but I can follow the link and it views OK on the site itself). Installing the certificate didn't help. The network tab of Chrome's console shows that a GET was made to video.php and 0 bytes were returned. I live in Australia.

FF13.0.1 with Windows 7 SP1 x64, player doesn't load. Clicking the link and watching it on the site itself works. After using Firebug, I check that the HTTP request to https://baidu.tasvideos.org/video.php didn't finish. Opening that link in a new tab resulted in a "Connection not safe" error. Checking the reason, it's listed that your certificate is not homologated by a known authority. PS: My Windows is recent installation (about 6 months) but it completely updated.

Opera 12 gives me a warning saying the certificate chain is incomplete and unsigned. If I accept the certificate the video works. But if the warning could be fixed, it would be awesome.

I saw the video just fine, not directly from here, as it was a white box. But going on the actual site, i saw that mario video just fine. :) And i really liked it. IE 8, win XP

You need to install the security certificate found here (which ironically also gives me a security warning (don't remember what it said, though)). Other than that, the video player shows up perfectly fine in Opera 12.

I'll see if I can use an alternate certificate which has better support.
